THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: YOU ARE RESCUED BY GOD IN CHRIST TO RESCUE OTHERS FOR GOD IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: You are RESCUED by God in Christ to RESCUE others for God in Christ in this World!

It is unfortunate that:

1. Many genuine Christians do not know and THINK that they are par time RESCUED by God in Christ from their own challenges to RESCUE others with similar issues as theirs in the World. True!

2. Many genuine Christians do not know and SPEAK that they are par time RESCUED by God in Christ from their own challenges to RESCUE others with similar issues as theirs in the World. True!

3. Many genuine Christians do not know and LIVE that they are par time RESCUED by God in Christ from their own challenges to RESCUE others with similar issues as theirs in the World. True!

It is surprising that many Christians after many years of being Christ's followers do not know that even JESUS CHRIST, our ultimate role model of Christianity practice on Earth, went through SUFFERING and was RESCUED by God the Father afterwards, so that He can become an eternal SALVATION unto ALL, who will believe, receive and obey Him in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

As He said also in another place, you art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared; Though He were a Son, yet LEARNED He OBEDIENCE by the things which He SUFFERED; And being MADE perfect, He BECAME the author of eternal SALVATION unto ALL them that obey Him. (Hebrews 5:6-9).

And remember, the Bible reveals to us that as HE (Jesus Christ) is, so are WE in this World. (1 John 4:17).

Therefore, the Apostle Paul reveals to us thus:

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of ALL comfort; Who COMFORTS us in ALL our TRIBULATION, that WE may be ABLE to COMFORT them which are in any trouble, BY the comfort wherewith we ourselves are COMFORTED of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound IN us, so our consolation also abounds BY Christ. And whether WE be afflicted, it is for YOUR consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the SAME sufferings which we ALSO suffer: or whether WE be comforted, it is for YOUR consolation and salvation. (2 Corinthians 1:3-6).

The above scriptural reference reveals to us that God COMFORTS us in Christ, so that we will be ABLE to COMFORT others by the same COMFORTS with which we have being COMFORTED with par time in Christ in this World. True!

Therefore, Apostle Paul said thus:

We are TROUBLED on every side, yet NOT distressed; we are PERPLEXED, but NOT in despair; PERSECUTED, but NOT forsaken; CAST DOWN, but NOT destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the DYING of the Lord Jesus, that the LIFE also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto DEATH for Jesus' sake, that the LIFE also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then DEATH works in us, but LIFE in you. (2 Corinthians 4:8-12).

The above scriptural reference reveals to us that God allows us to bear on our body the DYING (suffering) of the Lord Jesus Christ, that the LIFE also of Jesus Christ might be made manifest in our body as well in this World. Then we can give this divine LIFE to us. True!

It is sad that many genuine Christians knows about John 3:16, but are ignorant about 1 John 3:16, which says thus:

Hereby perceive we the LOVE of God, because He LAID DOWN His life for us: and WE ought to LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren. But whoso has this World's goods, and SEES his brother have need, and SHUTS up his bowels of COMPASSION from him, HOW dwells the LOVE of God IN him? My little children, let us NOT love in word, neither in tongue; BUT in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:16-18; Matthew 25:31-46).

Now, know and note that as:

1. A genuine Christian, God the Father expects you NOT to be SELF-CENTERED at heart and hand, but to be SELF GIVING at heart and hand. True!

2. A genuine Christian, God the Father expects you NOT to be SELFISH at heart and hand, but to be SELFLESS at heart and hand. True!

3. A genuine Christian, God the Father expects you NOT to be SELF-CONCERNED at heart and hand, but to be SOCIETY (people) CONCERNED at heart and hand. True!

Jesus Christ says to us thus:

Therefore ALL things whatsoever you would that MEN should DO to you, DO you even SO to them: for this is the law and the prophets. (Matthew 7:12; Mark 12:28-31).

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

If there be therefore any CONSOLATION in Christ, if any COMFORT of love, if any FELLOWSHIP of the Spirit, if any BOWELS and mercies, fulfil you my joy, that you be likeminded, having the same love, being of ONE accord, of one mind. Let NOTHING be done through STRIFE or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind LET each ESTEEM other better than themselves. Look NOT every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. LET this mind be in you, which was also IN Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of NO reputation, and TOOK upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He HUMBLED Himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the Cross. Wherefore God also has highly EXALTED Him, and GIVEN Him a name which is ABOVE every name: That at the NAME of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in earth, and things under the Earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:1-11).

When we do not see ourselves BETTER than others and HUMBLE ourselves to SERVE them with the gifts and goods we have being given as Christ did for us, God the Father is move to EXALT us before men in this World. True!

Therefore, Apostle Paul reveals to us thus:

Be NOT deceived; God is NOT mocked: for whatsoever a man SOWS, that shall he also REAP. For he that sows to his FLESH shall of the flesh reap CORRUPTION; but he that sows to the SPIRIT shall of the Spirit reap life EVERLASTING. And let us NOT be weary in WELL doing: for in DUE season we shall REAP, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us DO good unto ALL men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:7-10; Matthew 25:31-46).

The truth to be told, self-centered, selfish and self-concerned attitudes and approaches to Christianity practice in Christ in this World has made the Body of Christ WEAK and almost becoming IRRELEVANT to the people of the World, including saints themselves. True!

Is it not true that many genuine saints of God in Christ are not even taken care of in the Body of Christ by those who are suppose to, not to talk of the people of the World taken care of by us in Christ in this World. We have forgotten that we are to be divine SALTS on Earth and divine LIGHTS of the World. (Matthew 5:13-16; 1 Peter 2:8,9).

Lets all REPENT and become not only our brothers and sisters KEEPERS in Christ, but the only HOPE the people of the World can LOOK up unto on behalf of Christ to get their needs met. That is the way God designed it and that is the way it should be. True!

That is why the Bible says to us thus:

But you are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that you should SHOW FORTH the PRAISES (glories) of Him who has called you OUT of darkness into His marvellous light: which in time past were NOT a people, but are NOW the people of God: which had NOT obtained mercy, but NOW have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9,10; Hebrews 4:16).

Will you STAND up to be COUNTED in this generation as one in Christ that give HOPE to as many as possible that you can in the Body of Christ and in the World?

Think about it and do something about it!

Have COMPASSION, because only COMPASSIONATE people makes a DIFFERENCE in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

And of some have COMPASSION, making a DIFFERENCE. (Jude 1:22).

Always keep in mind that you can only pretend to LOVE God and have COMPASSION for His people and people of the World to your pastor, other Saints and yourself, but not to God, the All-Knowing God. Take note, take heed!

Be genuinely COMPASSIONATE in Christ, so that you can make a genuine DIFFERENCE in the lives of people within and outside the Body of Christ in this World before the sight of God in Heaven and He will in due time REWARD you on Earth now and in Heaven some day. True! (Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Corinthians 15:58; Luke 18:18-30).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

Hereby perceive we the LOVE of God, because He LAID DOWN His life for us: and WE ought to LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren. (1 John 3:16).

Take note, take heed!
